Title: Uldall-Cook catheter is in place.
Post by: monrein on May 15, 2008, 08:48:31 AM

So yesterday I had my line inserted into my internal jugular.  All went well although I find it a bit uncomfortable as if it's tugging on my neck and chest.  I was told it would be a little sore for three days.  Not taking pain meds so it's not horrific.  Of course it lies right on top of my right breast so with my bra on I look as though I have  a half a banana laying on top of it.  At the moment it's wrapped in gauze.
I was asked if I wanted to start dialysis this evening but I chose to wait until Tuesday so I'd be less sore.  I'll begin at the hospital then move to the self-care centre near my house.
